Clinical Trial Summary

The study try to investigate the possible effects of exercise and probiotics supplementation on dysmenorrhea amelioration from the perspective of microbiome.

Clinical Trial Description

In current study, there were two stages designed for current study. The definition of dysmenorrhea population depended on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of McGill Pain Questionnaire (more than 5) and the VAS score less than 2 was considered as non-dysmenorrhea population.

In the first stage, the 20 subjects were recruit for non-dysmenorrhea group (Control group) and other 60 subjects were randomly allocated into three group with original lifestyle, aerobic, and resistant exercise intervention (Dys-Control, Dys-Aerobic, and Dys-resistant groups). The questionnaires (Premenstrual syndrome, the Menstrual Distress, and McGill Pain), body composition, physical fitness, biochemistries, inflammation, hormones and microbiome analysis (feces and tampon) were evaluated and assessed before and after 10-weeks indicated exercise training.

In the second stage, one hundred subjects (20 non-dysmenorrhea and 80 dysmenorrhea populations) will be recruited and the dysmenorrhea will be randomly allocated into Dys-Control, Dys-probiotics, Dys-exercise and Dys-probiotics and exercise groups. The questionnaires (Premenstrual syndrome, the Menstrual Distress, and McGill Pain), body composition, physical fitness, biochemistries, inflammation, hormones and microbiome analysis (feces and tampon) were evaluated and assessed before and after 10-weeks indicated interventions (probiotics and exercise). ;
